Explore adoption
Northwest Adoption Exchange provides support and resources to help navigate the adoption process and find permanent homes for youth in foster care.
Meet the youth
There are lots of older kids who want to be adopted, but not enough families.
With In-Depth Profiles™, we're changing that. By collaborating with teens like Sean—teens who want to inspire and speak directly to potential adoptive families—we're helping more teens find permanency.

Our approach
Strength-based
We feature youth using positive language that honors their story and celebrates their potential, because we all deserve to put our best foot forward.
Youth-driven
Youth voices are important. We search for innovative ways for youth to tell their stories to potential adoptive families.
Fiercely optimistic
Our community can meet the need. We believe that every child can find the adoptive family they deserve.
